Enough Said on Blu-ray Giveaway

James Gandolfini, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Catherine Keener shine in this heartwarming comedy that A.O. Scott of The New York Times calls “a small miracle of a movie.” Divorced mom Eva (Louis-Dreyfus) may be falling for Albert (Gandolfini), a sweet, funny, like-minded divorcé. But as their relationship blossoms, Eva befriends Marianne (Keener), who’s always complaining about her ex-husband. When Eva realizes that Albert is the target of Marianne’s rants, she begins to question her own perceptions about first impressions and second chances.

To celebrate the DVD and Blu-ray release of Enough Said on
January 14th, let’s look at some top screen moments from the
film’s leading lady, Julia Louis- Dreyfus. Julia’s resume means
serious business with star performances in shows such as Seinfeld,
Veep and Saturday Night Live. Believe it or not, her
screen debut was given by comedy master Woody Allen in the 1986 hit
feature Hannah and her Sisters. Working with the great
writer/director clearly had a positive effect on her future career
playing comedic roles. Here are a few of our favourites:

Elaine Benes – Seinfeld

Elaine Benes—old flame and now good
friend of Jerry—is possibly Julia’s most famous role.

Favorite moment: Elaine's nickname
becomes "Nip", after she accidentally shows a nipple on a
Christmas card, created by Kramer. Mortified at first, Elaine later
crops the wardrobe malfunction off of the photograph and uses it for
her health club ID. How resourceful!

Leslie – Deconstructing
Harry

Deconstructing Harry marks Julia’s
second time working with writer-director, Woody Allen. Allen plays a
writer, and Julia brings to life one of the fictional characters from
his work.

Favorite moment: Julia’s character
and another of Harry’s fictional characters are caught in an
intimate moment by a blind woman who enters the room unexpectedly.
Hilarity ensues when the couple continue to misbehave while the blind
women obliviously engages them in conversation.

Maggie Lizer – Arrested
Development

Maggie Lizer, or Maggie “lies her ass
off,” is an Orange County attorney and brief love interest of the
show’s main character Michael Bluth. Lizer manages to give lawyers
an even worse reputation, as she uses every trick in the book to gain
sympathy from the judge and juries on her case.

Favorite moment: Being led to believe
that she is blind, we later find out that Lizer has only been
pretending to not be able to see to help her cheat on her bar
exam—and get free pizza.

Selina Meyer- Veep

With grand ambitions and passions like
passions environmental conservation, job creation and Senate reform,
Meyer is a politician we want to root for. If only it wasn’t for
her incompetent staff and political red tape waiting to thwart even
her most humble ambitions…

Favorite moment: Selena suddenly comes
down with a stomach virus during a photo op at a local frozen yogurt
shop. Her intestinal troubles cause a hasty retreat back to the limo,
proving even the Vice President isn’t immune to an embarrassing
moment.

Eva – Enough Said

As divorced single parent Eva, we get
to see Julia in a role that not only displays the comedic chops that
we know and love, but also the softer, more dramatic side of her
acting range. Eva’s courtship with fellow divorcée Albert (James
Gandolfini) is a modern love story, full of nuances, real moments
and—of course—more than a few laughs.

Favorite moment: Awkward! Eva overhears
her new best friend talking on the phone with her ex-husband—who
also happens to be Eva’s new boyfriend.
